Actually, it was just a recorded voice that would tell you that your door was open, and would continue talking to you until you closed it. Of course, it never caught_onTimes have changed and the talking car of the near future is a car that you talk to, rather than a car that talks to you. Youll be able to control your radio by giving voice orders, get traffic reports and directions, and send and receive emails. To do this, you neednt push a button at all.This is good news for those who spend more and more of their lives in their cars. In fact, the new type of cars will be more like offices on wheels, with computers, wireless Internet access, and satellite radio inside. Companies are hoping that time wasted in traffic could be put to better use. If workers are able to check their emails, faxes, and meeting time on the way to work, they can spend more time at the office doing more important tasks.Microsoft, of course, is hoping that every one of those mobile offices will use Windows. “Its a great goal.” says Dick Brass，VP of Microsofts automotive division，“But wed like to have one of our operating systems in every car on earth.” There are already 650 million cars in the world, and every year about 50 million new cars roll off the production lines. If Brass wish came true, cars could become a bigger business for Microsoft than computers.6. Which is TRUE about the worlds first “talking car”？ANissan invented it. BIt was introduced in the late 20th century.CIt could record voices. DIt could not only record but also talk itself.答案：B7. The radio of the new talking car can be operated by receiving_Atraffic reports Bvoice ordersClight signals Delectricity energy答案：B8Companies may be happy with new type of cars because_Amuch time will be wasted in trafficBtheir workers will get to the office earlierCtheir workers will have more time to do more important workDtheir workers will check emails, faxes, and meeting time at home答案：C9. The underlined phrase “caught on” in the first paragraph probably means“_”Aturned on Btook off Cbecome popular Dwas colourful答案：C10We can learn from the passage that_Aall of the mobile offices will use WindowsBabout 50 million new cars are produced every yearCthe new type of talking car has a recorded voice insideDthe talking car of the near future is a car that talks to you答案：BBA few years ago, I realized that I had a fear of heights. Sometimes I would feel uncomfortable if I looked down from somewhere high and the higher I got, the worse I felt. However, there were some things that made me nervous when I looked up at themsuch as drop towers(急速下降塔)About a month ago, my family and I went on a trip to Marinelandan amusement park with a sea animal theme.One of Marinelands attractions is a huge drop tower called the “Sky Screamer”. My dad wanted to ride it, and he wanted to take me with him. He kept nagging(唠叨) me, and I finally gave in, because I wanted to face my fears.Going up was terrible. I got stomachaches from just looking at the tower. When we reached the tower, we lined up and got seated on the ride. When it reached a few feet off the ground, it stopped for a moment, before sending us straight to the top at great speed. I squeezed my eyes shut and I held the handlebar(把手) as tightly as I could. A few seconds later my heart was in my mouth and I was screaming my lungs out. At the top, I opened my eyes and looked forward, not down.I tried to prepare myself for the way down, but it didnt really help. There I was, with my eyes squeezed shut，holding the handlebar and again, screaming at the top of my voice. In fact, it was even worse than going up！But when I got to the bottom, I felt relieved(放松的). I thanked my dad for forcing me to go on the ride，and I was pleased I had faced my fears. So, was the “Sky Screamer” scary? Well, maybe just a little bit.11.

What made the writer finally decide to ride the “Sky Screamer”？AHer fathers encouraging words.BHer interest in the ride.CHer desire to face her fears. DHer fathers nagging.答案：C13. What did the writer do during the ride?AShe kept looking down. BShe kept holding the handlebar.CShe was too frightened to scream. DShe squeezed her fathers hand tightly.答案：B14. What can we learn from the passage?AThe writer volunteered to take the ride because she wanted to face her fears.B. The writers father forced her to ride with him in order to help her with her fears.C. The ride was less scary on the way down.D. The ride offered the writer a chance to face and conquer(征服) her fears.答案：D15What is the passage mainly about?AA trip to Marineland. BFacing a fear.CA ride to the top of the “Sky Screamer”. DA joyful ride on the “Sky Screamer”答案：BCAt 5：13 on the morning of April 18th 1906，the city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake.A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt.The number of people who lost homes reached as many as 250，000.About 700 people died in the earthquake and the fires.Another earthquake shook San Francisco on October 17th, 1989. It was Americas second strongest earthquake and about 100 people were killed. It happened in the evening as people were travelling home. A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below. Many people were killed in their cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.Luckily the 1989 earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about 50 kilometres away. In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed. These buildings were over 50 years old, so they were not strong enough.There were a lot of fires all over the city. The electricity was cut off for several days too.Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates.At San Francisco the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American plate. The Pacific plate is moving very slowlyat 5.3 centimetres a year. Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years.Then suddenly, they jump and an earthquake is felt. As a result of the movement of these plates, west America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 56 metres to the north.Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the area around San Francisco. They call it “The Big One”. However, people today are still building more houses. The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that if there is another big earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.16. Fewer people were killed in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake because the earthquake happened_Ain the centre of the cityBin the daytimeCoutside the city Din the evening答案：C17. Which might be the worst earthquake in the history of the USA according to the passage?AThe 1906 earthquake. BThe 1976 earthquake.CThe 1989 earthquake. DBoth A and C.答案：A18. Why do earthquake happen?ABecause the surface of the earth is too thin.BBecause some plates of the earth move suddenly.CBecause the houses built on the earth are not strong.DBecause the plates are moving slowly.答案：B19. What should we do about the earthquake?AWe should learn how to predict earthquakes and stop them.BWe should stop building new houses.CWe should build strong buildings in the right places.DWe should try our best to stop earthquakes.答案：C20. What does the underlined word“one” in the second paragraph refer to?ABridge. BRoad. CCar. DStreet.答案：B.完形填空(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.
